Approaches to Organizational Leadership in the Digital Age

Abstract

Scientific and technological development is an evolutionary process, which is characterized by growth and acceleration trends. Moreover, the results of scientific and technological development are becoming more complex and are changing exponentially. The topic of technological singularity and its impact on the economy, business models, entrepreneurial activities and leadership of organizations are increasingly being discussed. Acceleration of scientific and technological progress is changing the approaches to the leadership of organizations and causing a transformation of managerial thinking. In our opinion, for success in a singular environment, organizations need to rethink the traditional view of leadership based on hierarchy, power, control and submission in favor of such organizational skills: collaboration and teamwork, flexibility, creativity, involvement and inspiration.
